Lovers' Revolution
Ghost on Ghost (2013)

Capo 4th fret

E minorEm
I came to you and you to me
                                    D MajorD
And we were tapping on the window at the children when the piggy bank broke
C majorC            E minorEm
 Pitching quite a fit
        D MajorD              C majorC              E minorEm
About how the makers of the medicine will always say you’re looking sick

E minorEm
I came to you and you to me
                                     D MajorD
And we would whimper to the women washing milk off of their formal white clothes
C majorC           E minorEm
 But the funny thing
       D MajorD               C majorC               E minorEm
Was how when God was in his people we were dreaming about who else to be
       D MajorD                 C majorC             E minorEm
And all the fingers that we damaged when all we wanted was a diamond ring

E minorEm
I came to you and you to me
                                  D MajorD
And we were barking at the drug dogs, blood dried black on their hands
C majorC          E minorEm
 And never realized
      D MajorD               C majorC                E minorEm
You never tussle with a giant til you can hit him right between the eyes
      D MajorD                 C majorC              E minorEm
And that no matter how we chewed it, we’d be choking on a compromise
       D MajorD            C majorC              E minorEm
Cause all the jaws, all the claws lay restless by the riverside
       D MajorD               C majorC             E minorEm
And it wasn’t muscle in the shadow that was shoving us into the light

E minorEm
I came to you and you to me
                                  D MajorD
And we were snatching at a war baby’s bottle just to trade it for change
C majorC              E minorEm
 But now it’s come to pass
      D MajorD                C majorC                 E minorEm
That every eye beneath the mountain saw the smoke but no one heard the blast
      D MajorD                C majorC                E minorEm
That no one knew the arm was broken although everybody signed the cast
       D MajorD                C majorC                E minorEm
And until the government was good, she said “Man, I thought you’d never ask”
     D MajorD                  C majorC               E minorEm
And when love wore out her welcome, they just booked her for a bag of grass
      D MajorD                 C majorC               E minorEm
That while she cried on the cross, we were sucking on the laughing gas
       D MajorD               C majorC              E minorEm
And when the head had left the body, not a flag was hanging half-mast

E minorEm
I came to you and you to me
                               D MajorD
And then we lost our own lovers’ revolution but it started again
C majorC          E minorEm
 And now we’re one
      D MajorD              C majorC             E minorEm
One of the parade wake widows walking home into the setting sun
      D MajorD           C majorC                E minorEm
One of the soldiers lost in the dreams that never lose the gun
      D MajorD            C majorC            E minorEm
One of the wise men wandering the podium without a tongue
      D MajorD            C majorC              E minorEm
One of the trophies tarnished by the mess we made of being young
      D MajorD               C majorC             E minorEm
One of the prayers, one of the promises swallowed with our chewing gum
      D MajorD             C majorC               E minorEm
One of the deaf ears, dumber all the time for all the years of drums
       D MajorD          C majorC           E minorEm
One of the wide-eyed soap boxes buried under Washington
      D MajorD            C majorC           E minorEm
One of the beat cops combing every sidewalk crack for love
      D MajorD         C majorC              E minorEm
One of the crowded stars uncounted when the map was done
      D MajorD                C majorC              E minorEm
